Arnold's diet is his book Body Building Enyclopedia...
I train and am trained by an IFBB pro i have seen how he trains and eats.
HE trains very intense, he is busy with his buisness and job and honestly doesnt eat i trained with him one day and he only had one meal the whole day. Just because he is busy training people all day..
One time pre-contest he came to see my condition he was eating subway and mashed potatoes... alot of his diet is based on his training he trains like and athelete so he burns cals like a furnace

i was looking online for this the other day and couldnt find it and i realized it is in his book like faiz says. i ccould dig it out later if u like and look it up. but if i remember correctly it wasn't near as "clean" as current pros claim to follow. i also think he didn't take near as many protein shakes as they do now (if any). i think he may have occaisionally had one a day. the rest was real food.

ive always wondered that too, ronnie claims he only has one real cheat meal a year a fucking YEAR!! jay claimed in one video i saw that he didnt use eggs for some weird reaosn which i thought was just bullshit cause then i saw of video of him and he four thousand eggs in his frig lol but i think these guys eat clean but there on so many steroids that i dont think they need to eat as clean as they say they are doing....anyone here agree?
First of all, I can't trust what Ronnie says because in his video he talks about going zero carbs and then he's eating chicken cutlets with barbeque sauce which is almost entirely sugar. I don't think a fined tuned diet matters as much when you weigh 350 pounds and on every chemical on earth.
I've spoken to a lot of old timers and the biggest difference between then and now is fat intake -- especially in the form of eggs. Don Howorth said he ate a dozen eggs a day. There was no such thing as too much meat. The Rheo Blair protein was the real supplement of choice among the top guys and they mixed it with cream. Very, very rich food. Low "starches" as they called carbs in those days. My dad was a pro boxer in the 40's-50's and the way to get lean and strong for fighters was very simple -- lay off the starches. No potatoes, no bread, no rice, no beer, no corn, no oatmeal, no cereal. Steak and eggs. Steak and salad. Steak and more steak. When I was a kid in the 70's and the high carb craze was on I would actually argue with him how his trainers were all wrong. Ha! He had the last laugh. They were right.

Boxers in the 40's and 50's weren't lean bro. They were soft but strong.

Bro, Ruhl is a fucking knob. He is a synthol/gh freak and I would not listen to one bit of his techniques/diet stratagies.

It's all about weight. Dropping carbs made you drop weight. You're thinking in terms of modern bodybuilding standards and the training, supps and drugs that go with it. Guys like Dempsy, Tunny, Walcott, Robinson, were plenty lean for the time.
